Peter, I have brought this up before, relating it to the Jerusalem Bible, which does something similar. Instead of using A, B, C, etc, they simply will number a verse as "2:7, 1:3" to reflect both popular types of versification or they will go "1:1, 1:2, 1:2a, 1:2b, 1:2c, 1:3, 1:4" to indicate additional material present in Greek Esther or Daniel.
No one has given me a solid answer as to how that would be encoded. I don't even know if the engine has support for chapter "numbers" that are represented as letters. It would be easiest to use a General Book driver which allows arbitrary key values, if the GenBook-VerseKey bridge was completed. I don't know that it is, as I haven't heard anything about it for some time. --Greg On Sat, Sep 11, 2010 at 2:09 PM, Peter von Kaehne <[email protected]> wrote: > How do you deal with a versification which is using two separate chapter > counters in a book which aun in an interspersed way? > > 1, 2, 3, ... > > and > > A, B, C, .. > > This is to deal with Greek and Hebrew Esther and Daniel. > > To make it more complicated, some "numbered" chapters start and finish > with a "lettered" chapter interspersed. > > 1:1, 1:2, 1:3, A:1, A:2, A:3, 1:4, 1:5...
